Book is well indexed for quick referencing and includes much info new to me, a nine-year computer buff. Easy to read and understand, but not a simple beginners' book. 366 pages in hardback.
Excellent resource

Very good advice on dealing with your computer. Clearly written and easy to read. I am very happy with the price I paid; however, current pricing seems too high. My sister wanted one and we had to search other online sources to find one reasonably priced. This book jumped from under $20 for used, in good condition, to $70 in a matter of a few weeks.
Excellent, Excellent book for all computer users

Frank K. Woods has written probably the best books on how to use a computer especially for senior citizens and all those unsure just how to operate one with self confidence. HIs, "East Computing for Seniors" was great and this latest one-immediately when I received it in the mail, starated underlining and hi-lighting. The great thing about these books is they are easy to understand even on things you never thought you would be able to do on your own without thinking you might mess up something. I,ve tried many how to computer books and most of them still were not written clearly enough. Years ago I worked for the government in D. C. where no computers. Very late in life I decided I had to know how to work one if I was going to be able to complete my genealogy-there was no two ways about it. When I first started learning how to operate a computer, unfortunately I was not aware Woods' books were around -if they were at that time. How much easier it would have been for me if they were. Starting to learn the hows and whys of a computer at an advanced age is like having a mental breakdown as I am sure many of you out there can relate to that. To new computer users (and in fact those of all ages) be sure to read this book and any other he has written on computers before you decide to hack up the machine into tiny pieces and have a bon fire!
